The Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School crew team is selling holiday wreaths to fund its 2013 spring season.

The team is a club sport, meaning it gets no funding from MCPS and must find its own money for coaches salaries, equipment, race fees and other costs.

The holiday wreath event is its main fundraiser. All other funding comes from team dues and parent donations.

The team was established 16 years ago and has grown into one of the most consistent high school programs in the Washington area. It now has a fall and spring schedule and races in such high profile events as the Stotesbury Cup in Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River, regarded as one of the country’s most prestigious.

Wreaths are either $21 or $30 and crew members will deliver them to buyers in the first week of December. For more information on B-CC crew, the fundraiser and how to purchase a wreath, go to the team’s website.
